337 by M. Jonathan Lee

2020-11-29
By: Monica Shastri
On: November 29, 2020
In: Adult Contemporary, Books, Fiction

I am not someone that reads family tragedy stories often. Its something too heartbreaking to read about, and even if it’s fiction it’s sad to think it’s not far from reality for most people. I was intrigued by the premise and wanted to give this a try and let’s justContinue Reading

An Epistolary Queer Middle Grade Novel Set At Camp? Yes, Please! ft. To Night Owl, From Dogfish

2020-06-01
By: Monica Shastri
On: June 1, 2020
In: Books, Fiction, Middle Grade

I usually come across LGBT Middle Grade Books, where the protagonist was in an environment not considered safe to come out. More like the vibe of an anxious teen that feels “different”. I know it’s more closer to a realistic approach at how people would behave. But this book –Continue Reading

That Can Be Arranged : A Muslim Love Story by Huda Fahmy

2020-04-29
By: Monica Shastri
On: April 29, 2020
In: Books, Non- Fiction

It is typical of me to jump from one readathon to another. 😛 I am participating in the Ramadan Readathon this year and hoping to read as much Muslim Authors I can during this month. So there is no set TBR but I am going for at least 5 books.Continue Reading

Book Review : Starsight by Brandon Sanderson

2020-04-14
By: Monica Shastri
On: April 14, 2020
In: Books, Fiction, Sci-Fi

I have been desperate to pick this up ever since I finished reading Skyward last year. This book was easily a 5 star read for me. Infact, every Brandon Sanderson Book I have read till now has been mind blowing. I am on a personal mission to read all hisContinue Reading

Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah

2020-01-20
By: Monica Shastri
On: January 20, 2020
In: Books, Non- Fiction

Let’s be real. A few years ago, I loathed reading Non-Fiction Books. I hated Memoirs even more. It almost seemed like every Tom, Dick and Harry came out with a Memoir. And while there are a tons of Non Fiction Genres I am yet to get accustomed to. I haveContinue Reading

My Sister, The Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

2020-01-08
By: Monica Shastri
On: January 8, 2020
In: Books, Fiction, Mystery/Thriller

Honestly, I always steer clear from Award Winning Books. Mostly because somehow the people who judge this and my taste never seem to match. I rarely be intrigued to read those books after reading their blurb and I am always questioning myself if I am investing myself in the rightContinue Reading

Earth Heroes: 20 Inspiring Stories of People Saving Our World by Lily Dyu

2019-12-25
By: Monica Shastri
On: December 25, 2019
In: Books, Non- Fiction

To be honest, It’s very depressing to know the earth is on its way to become inhabitable. Maybe hundreds and thousands of years from now but the journey has begun and sadly enough, it almost seems like the world is too caught up in other stuff to bother about mereContinue Reading

I Wish You All The Best by Mason Deaver

2019-12-19
By: Monica Shastri
On: December 19, 2019
In: Books, Fiction, YA Contemporary

I wasn’t really keen on the pride month this year though I just happened to pick books that were based on the LGBT community throughout the year which I guess is the goal. I picked this book on a whim. I was instantly attracted to the cover which is illustratedContinue Reading

For generations, the princes of Ilara have married the most beautiful maidens from the ocean village of Varenia. But though every girl longs to be chosen as the next princess, the cost of becoming royalty is higher than any of them could ever imagine…Continue Reading

A Court Of Thorns And Roses By Sarah J. Maas

2019-12-05
By: Monica Shastri
On: December 5, 2019
In: Books, Fantasy, Fiction

Finally got around to starting this series! ACOTAR has been on my reading radar for years now.  I am not really sure why I was so intimidated with starting this. One of the reasons would be that I never really ventured into high fantasy before and was skeptical of enjoyingContinue Reading
